ChE Graduate Student Handbook
(Revised December 2013)
1"
I. Introduction
The goal of this document is to compile as well as formalize the policies and procedures of the
graduate program of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas Tech. This document
complements the rules of the Graduate School, all of which must be met to obtain the degree.
Doctor of Philosophy Program
II. Coursework and Basic Requirements
1) All Ph.D. students, including those with prior M.S. degrees are required to take the following
five (5) core courses (15 credits):
Advanced Chemical Engineering Techniques (CHE 5310), Advanced Chemical Engineering
Thermodynamics (CHE 5321), Digital Computation for Chemical Engineers (CHE 5323),
Fluid Transport Principles and Analysis (CHE 5312) and Reaction Kinetics (CHE 5343).
2) The five core courses must be completed with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above in the first
two years. If these requirements are not met, the student can retake the course(s) and must
obtain a B or above in the course(s).
3) In addition to the core courses, at least four elective courses need to be taken by graduate
students. The graduate students must select these courses in consultation with their thesis
advisor. Graduate courses in other departments which are unrelated to the thesis work may
only be taken upon approval of the thesis advisor.
4) Ph.D. students are required to enroll in a seminar course (CHE 7121, CHE 7122, CHE 7123,
or CHE 7124) each long semester. The credits from the seminar courses are counted towards
the degree plan.
5) Ph.D. students are required to take research credits (CHE 7000). Topical names to the
research courses are provided by the thesis advisor to be included in the degree plan.
6) Ph.D. students need to have 12 dissertation credits (CHE 8000) – 3 of these 12 must be from
the semester in which the student defends.
7) In addition to the coursework, as part of the graduate training, Ph.D. students are expected to
give at least one public oral presentation on their research before their thesis defense. It is
recommended that Ph.D. students publish 4-6 peer-reviewed journal articles from their
dissertation.
8) Ph.D. students are required to have a minimum of 72 credits by the time of thesis defense.
Below is the typical break-up of credit hours towards the degree plan.
Core courses:
Course electives:
Seminar courses:
Research:
Dissertation:
15 credits
12 credits (minimum)
8 credits
25 credits (titles to be provided in degree plan for all but 6 credits)
12 credits

III. Advisor Assignment
The process of advisor assignment will proceed as follows:
1) In the fall semester, the faculty members interested in taking new students will give
presentations on their research topics to the new students.
2) The first year students are required to meet with a minimum of three faculty members whose
projects they are interested in.
3) Following these meetings, the students will fill out their top 3 choices in the Faculty Advisor
Assignment Document (provided in the Appendix) and submit it to the graduate advisor.
Students should not submit potential thesis advisor names that they have not met with.
4) Using this list and feedback from the faculty, the graduate committee will make a
recommendation for the advisor assignments.
5) The advisor assignments are discussed in the faculty meeting and will be certified by a vote
of the entire faculty; assignments are generally finalized by mid-November.
6) A Student-Advisor Commitment Document (provided in the Appendix) will be signed by both
the assigned graduate student and the advisor, and it will be kept in the student’s file.
7) In order to facilitate a fair advisor assignment process, the students and faculty will follow
the rules above. The exception being, if the students are specifically admitted to work for a
particular advisor. In such a scenario, the advisor’s name will be mentioned in the admission
offer letter.
IV. Selection of Dissertation Committee
1) Students must select their dissertation committee at the start of their qualifying examination
in consultation with their thesis advisor.
2) The thesis committee should consist of the following: committee chair (thesis advisor), at
least two faculty members with full time appointment in chemical engineering, at least one
external committee member from another department at TTU. All of these committee
members should hold a tenure-track faculty position in the TTU System.
3) Occasionally, a thesis project might require an additional committee member from academia,
industry, or a national laboratory. This committee member must hold a Ph.D. or M.D. degree
in engineering or science or closely related area and should be approved by the graduate
advisor and the graduate school. For this purpose, the thesis committee chair (student’s
advisor) should provide a one paragraph justification for the need to select a committee
member from outside of TTU.
V. Teaching Assistant (TA) Duties
1) Each Ph.D. student is required to perform TA duties for three semesters. The TAs typically
work 5-8 hrs/wk on average. TA responsibilities include maintaining office hours, grading,
conducting discussions, proctoring exaM.S., delivering substitute or guest lectures,
developing and helping students with projects, and/or supervising, maintaining, and
developing undergraduate teaching laboratories.
3"
2) It is possible that some students may have to TA more than three times due to departmental
needs and funding levels. In this case, the student and advisor should meet and discuss this
possibility.
VI. Ph.D. Qualifying Exam
1) The qualifying exam is to be taken after the student has completed all of the core courses
with a cumulative GPA of 3.0.
2) The qualifying exam should be completed before the end of the third year of the student.
3) Per current format, the qualifying exam consists of an independent project that is assigned by
the student’s advisor. The problem assigned to students is different from previous research
conducted. The student is given four to six weeks to work on the problem and then submit a
report to the committee. This is followed by a presentation and defending the work in front
of the committee (typically a week after the submission of the report).
4) The outcomes of the qualifying exam could be: Pass, Re-defend and Fail. Students who fail
the qualifying exam are ineligible to pursue the Ph.D. but are eligible to obtain a terminal
M.S. degree.
5) Upon passing the qualifying exam, the student is admitted to Ph.D. candidacy and needs to
submit the Qualifying Exam Report (see Appendix) to the Graduate School. At this point,
the degree plan should be submitted to the Graduate School. The degree plan should contain
the courses to be taken in fulfillment of Ph.D. requirements with names provided for ChE
7000 courses and the plan should be signed by the thesis supervisor and the graduate advisor.
See the Appendix for an example. In addition, the thesis advisor should send a memo to the
graduate school, cc'ing the graduate advisor, stating that the student passed the qualifying
exam and including the date of the exam and the committee members in attendance.
6) It is recommended that the Ph.D. students meet with their dissertation committee on an
annual basis after passing their qualifying exam to report research progress and receive
feedback.
VII. Dissertation Defense
1) A student planning to graduate must file in the Graduate School’s office a “Statement of
Intention to Graduate” at the beginning of the semester of intended graduation. A list of
deadlines, including the date for filing the “Statement of Intent to Graduate,” can be found on
the Graduate School website (www.gradschool.ttu.edu).
2) Once the graduate school is notified of the intent to graduate, the student should contact the
dissertation committee members to identify a time slot suitable for everyone. Final oral
examinations should not be scheduled during inter-term breaks – if the committee agrees to
an exam between terM.S., it is the student's and/or advisor's responsibility to identify the
Dean's Representative and let the Graduate School know who that is.
3) The Graduate School must be notified of the time of the final oral examination at least three
weeks in advance. The Graduate School will then find a Dean's Representative to attend the
final examination. In the event that there is less than three weeks notification, the student
and/or thesis advisor should identify a Dean's Representative and let the Graduate School
know the time of the exam and the identified Dean's Representative.
4"
4) A copy of the dissertation (in printed or electronic form, as requested by the particular
committee member) should be given to each committee member at least three weeks before
the thesis defense. It is expected that the printed copy should be in a “professional” format.
For example, a paper copy that is held together by a paper clip is considered unacceptable.
5) A printed notice of the dissertation defense (abstract, time and place) should be posted in
prominent places in the department. In addition, the department should also be notified by an
email. Both notices must be placed at least one week prior to defense.
6) The dissertation defense will consist of 3 parts: oral presentation by the candidate, open
question session and “closed” question session where only the thesis committee members are
present.
Master of Science Program
Students pursuing M.S. degrees require a total of 36 credits to graduate. Both thesis and nonthesis M.S. degrees are offered, as well as a B.S./M.S. degree plan. The breakup of the 36-credit
degree plan is different for each of the M.S. program as specified below.
I. Coursework
1) All students pursuing an M.S. degree are required to take the following five (5) core courses
(15 credits): Advanced Chemical Engineering Techniques (CHE 5310), Advanced Chemical
Engineering Thermodynamics (CHE 5321), Digital Computation for Chemical Engineers
(CHE 5323), Fluid Transport Principles and Analysis (CHE 5312) and Reaction Kinetics
(CHE 5343).
2) The students need to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 annually.
3) The 36-credit degree plan for M.S. Thesis:
Core courses:
15 credits
Course electives: 12 credits (minimum)
Seminar courses: 3 credits
Thesis Research: 6 credits
The thesis defense must be passed
4) The 36-credit degree plan for M.S. Non-Thesis:
Core courses:
15 credits
Course electives: 12 credits (minimum)
Seminar courses: 3 credits
Research:
6 credits
A comprehensive exam must be passed. The faculty under whom the non-thesis students take
the 6 research credits will provide the comprehensive exam. The exam format could include
a written report and a presentation.
In the combined B.S./M.S. degree program, students may elect to do either a thesis or a nonthesis M.S. degree. In this degree plan, six (6) credits of electives in the B.S. degree are taken
as graduate courses and are counted towards both B.S. and M.S. degrees. Degree plans for
both the M.S. Thesis and M.S. Non-Thesis options are in the Appendix.
5"
II. Advisor Assignment
Students pursuing M.S. degrees need to contact faculty members whose area of research they are
interested in and identify advisors.
III. Thesis Committee Selection
1) The thesis committee should consist of the following: committee chair (thesis advisor) and at
least one other faculty member with full time appointment in chemical engineering. All of these
committee members should hold a tenure-track faculty position at TTU.
2) Occasionally, a thesis project might require an additional member from academia, industry or
a national laboratory. This additional committee member must hold a Ph.D. degree in
engineering or science and should be approved by the graduate advisor and the graduate school.
For this purpose, the thesis committee chair (student’s advisor) should provide a one paragraph
justification for the need to select a committee member from outside of TTU.
IV. Teaching Assistant (TA) Duties
1) No teaching assistant (TA) duties are mandatory for the M.S. and BS/M.S. students.
V. Thesis Defense
1) The thesis defense is to be initiated by contacting the graduate school. A defense cannot take
place in the absence of a representative of the graduate school Dean.
2) Once the graduate school is notified, student should contact the thesis committee members to
identify a time slot suitable for everyone.
3) A copy of the thesis (in printed or electronic form, as requested by the particular committee
member) should be given to each committee member at least one week before the thesis
defense. It is expected that the printed copy should be in a “professional” format. For
example, a paper copy that is held together by a paper clip is considered unacceptable.
4) A printed notice of the thesis defense (abstract, time and place) should be posted in the
prominent places in the department. In addition, the department should also be notified by an
email. Both notices must be placed at least one week prior to defense.
5) The thesis defense will consist of 3 parts: oral presentation by the candidate, open question
session and “closed” question session where only the thesis committee members are present.
